COULWAVE: Cornell University Long and Intermediate Wave Modeling Package
| Type of Model: | A phase-resolving, Boussinesq-type wave model used for the simulation of weakly dispersive and highly nonlinear free surface disturbances such as wind waves and tsunamis. |
| First Released: | March 01, 2008 |

COULWAVE is a free surface wave model. It solves various depth-integrated, long-wave based equation models, including the nonlinear shallow water wave equations and a number of the weakly dispersive Boussinesq-type equations. The primary applications for COULWAVE include landslide tsunami generation and propagation, nearshore tsunami evolution and inundation, and nearshore wind wave modeling. The numerical scheme uses a 4th order finite difference scheme for the spatial derivatives, and a 4th order iterative predictor-corrector scheme for the time integration.
